Lyrics: Always Sixteen

Old Mr. Johnson and his wife attend my church
Fifty-two years and they still love like it's the first
He holds the door she holds his hand
They kiss a little
He helps her in the truck
She slides right to the middle
And so one day I ask him how they keep the fire alive

He said, you see two old people, but somethin' down inside
Love is always sixteen
It's always the same
Though people might change
Its forever young love don't have to turn cold
Though lovers grow old
Love don't have to grow weak
‘Cause love is always sixteen

Baby don't you find it just a little bit peculiar
However close we get, we're never too familiar
Everyday I wake up lovin' you so much it hurts
And baby every kiss we kiss still feels like it's the first
And it turns me on to know this feeling's never gonna fade
I'm still gonna want you even when we're old and grey

‘Cause love is always sixteen
It's always the same
Though people might change
It's forever young
Love don't have to turn cold
Though lovers grow old
Love don't have to grow weak
‘Cause love is always sixteen

Through all of its phases
It's timeless and ageless
You’re like the sun in a clear morning sky

Love is always sixteen
It's always the same
Though people might change
It's forever young
Love don't have to turn cold
Though lovers grow old
Love don't have to grow weak
‘Cause love
‘Cause love

Is always sixteen
Is always sixteen
